As a massive shaco enjoyer I must admit two things: -Shaco support should be played only by shaco otps who know what they're doing -Shaco support is a great pick if you want to make the world a place that would be better without you (no offense) Literally if you lose the game but make enemy ragequit you can consider this as a win
One thing I'd add: The ap support Shaco struggles a lot with mana at the start until you get the Lost Chapter. After that you're mostly able to just spam your boxes and - with the right cd reduction build - you can have below 8 seconds of cd on your W later so you can quickly turn a part of the map into a minefield.
Step 1: Spawn clone Step 2: walk clone to max range (Practice running with the clone at this range) Step 3: wait for the duration to just about expire Step 4: Q on top of target blinking past the Grey ring to instantly teleport your clone to your current position The target has no time to react and will be CC'd This separates the good AP shaco's from the bad There are many variations to using this trick and is impossible to outplay
